Here in Mass we had a very weird winter, NO Snow and very little rain. Will this effect the sap flow? I have noticed that the trees that I have been taping for a few year are not moving so much this year. What do you think?

Still very low sap totals. 75 Gal today. But the sugar level is up about 2 - 2 1/2% this is the best for me.

we are in the same boat. not nearly enough sap coming out of our lines. 170 taps, and only collecting 40-50 gallons/day. but we have a consistent 2% on our blend of reds and sugars.

It's still early, normally most seasons start now or a little later. Anything that you get now is a bonus. The real season is just starting.
